As no further reactions are forthcoming I consider this little thread closed with the following conclusions: - Windows (Windows 2000 at least, that's the variant on my laptop) somehow keeps a grip on the sound card even after it has been stopped, possibly by "not releasing the IRQ"; - switching to grub as boot manager may solve the problem; - otherwise there is nothing but a hard reboot if yow want sound in Linux.
